Rose Flynn: Childhood abandonment, an under-age marriage, and merciless abuse have created the emotionally damaged woman who is Rose Flynn Lynch.
At three, she is abandoned by her mother. At eight, she rejoins her mother and step-father to grow up in a cold and loveless home.
At seventeen she marries a man she knows only as a pen-pal and steps into the arms of a serial killer. Abused and frightened for her life and that of her unborn child, she agrees to go to live with his mother. On the way she is in an accident causing a miscarriage. John finds her and the abuse continues. At the age of eighteen, she walks out the door with only the clothes on her back.
At twenty-eight and after ten years of hiding from her abusive husband, Rose has come to an Arizona ranch where she meets Cole McKinnon and her attraction to him terrifies her, complicating her vow to never let another man touch her. Life has left her with no self-esteem or sense of worth, and she cannot find the way to open her heart to Cole. She suffers from a paralyzing fear of sex, causing her to deny that which she wants above all else - love.
Cole McKinnon: Cole thinks all women are actresses in bed and liars out of it and refuses to succumb to another woman's greed. When he meets Rose, the only thing he wants is to seduce her, but she starts a fire in his blood he cannot deny. As he finds himself falling in love with Rose he struggles to understand her fear and to release his own demons of betrayal by his father.
John Lynch: Sexually abused by his mother, John Lynch is a tormented psychotic and serial killer who believes Rose tricked him into marriage and then murdered their unborn child. After searching for her for many years, he finds her at a ranch in Arizona. When John sees her with Cole, he goes on a murderous rampage and is determined to kill them both.
Now she must stop a cold-blooded killer, and for the first time in her life, unearth the courage to fight for her own survival and the life of the man she loves.
